I think that i am -lame-. It's the second time there i experience an hw
problem and
linux warns me about it :)
There was a missing jumper, so no interrupt was selected ;) The card now
works ok.
By the way, i set it to 0x340, irq 11. With an award bios, be sure to
tell the bios
that irq 11 is used by an ISA card (PNP/ISA setup), as the 1505 is -not-
a PNP card.
I will test it more but now linux recognizes the card gracefully ;)
